Thanks eakins for the tips and help.
I am part of DockingPilot's crew and this will be perfect for us for 2014.
DP is our leader and will be the point man for our group.
Rest assured DockingPilot's comments and appreciation are from all of us.

You're welcome. That will be a sweet loop.
I'm guessing it will be very popular too.

This spring we will be riding the AZBDR. Once that and the IDBDR (my gut feeling is this will come after AZ) are done, we'll have a nice Mexico to Canada route for you guys to check out. The route will be a nice compliment route for the existing CDR route and provide a monster western dirt loop.

I am doing an Alaska trip and am doing the washington backcountry route and thinking of getting the colorado one so we could possibly hit that on the way back. I dont have a GPS though, is it doable without a GPS? (asking about both washington and colorado)

Yes it is but understand some roads are not labeled in the backcountry so expect to miss some turns. I would bring Benchmark Maps along with you for each state. They are very well detailed atlases and provide you map info if you do get lost. We use Benchmark for our basemaps as the names and look are the same, just different zoom levels.
Thanks & Enjoy! Bill

Already have my TAT maps for Colorado from Sam. Just ordered the Colorado Back Country maps and documentary DVD package from your site. Can't wait to see the video. Glad I came across your contact info on XC Riders "Father and Son TAT" rr.
